I don't think they help the handling at all. I don't know how they would. I could be wrong.

I thought their only purpose was to allow better alignment with caster and camber after getting springs.

They will and wont help handling. The parts themselves wont help. But if youve ever taken your car to a shop and they couldnt get the car alligned perfectly, or had to add more toe to compinsant for something else, etc. just overall had problems this will allow you're car to be aligned perfectly. Most of our cars ive seen pull to the right, and woble around, get the car aligned after you have them installed

If adjusted properly, they will improve your handling. Piece of advice, put your springs on before you get the plates adjusted. You will have to do it all over if you put your springs on afterwards.

i have my racecraft springs on right now and i think i might keep those on and just sell the bbk springs. I've heard the racecraft springs are good for roadracing.

They should help the car handle better as the top mount will now be solid and will not flex like the Stockers, MM parts are top notch!

Make sure to Torque all the nuts on the top to Exactly the amount required in the instructions!

I forgot what they said for the smaller nuts and broke one of the bolts in half... Fortunately I could easily replace it...

Other than that they went in easy. Might have to file down the holes for the adjustment on your inner fenders where the C/C plates mount for smooth movement.
